In 1998, Hugh Lane Gallery Director Barbara Dawson secured the donation of Francis Bacon's studio from the artist's heir John Edwards and Brian Clarke executor of the Estate of Francis Bacon. In the August of that year, the Francis Bacon’s legendary studio was relocated from 7 Reece Mews, London to Dublin in 1998 and now is permanently on display in the Hugh Lane Gallery. Join Barbara for a behind-the-scenes look at this achievement, delving further into the life and art of one of the most important figurative artists of the 20th Century.
